Re: New GTI + delivery
Yes it doesn't make sense. My order date was January 2018 not 2019 so perhaps they believe I have waited (as others) long enough.

blingsley: got mine from Camerons in Perth Scotland. They say 2 weeks to transport up.
Re: New GTI + delivery
Probably the last thing I wanted to see today, but a grey 2018 Gti overtook me earlier near RAF Wittering.

I've been watching activity from Emden and thee is no regular pattern.Bramcoteboy27 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 5:04 pm Just outside Emden on Glovis Sunlight. What ships sail to Grimsby?
I convinced myself that a particular ship was doing shuttle runs between Emden and Sheerness.
Today, that all changed and it left Sheerness for Zeebrugge, completely breaking that pattern.
Another ship that I had not seen referenced in either port traveled from Emden to Sheerness overnight.
It's almost impossible to really know what vessels to track beyond Emden.
There's also no telling how many vehicles back in the queue your vehicle will be either.
Very frustrating.

Re: New GTI + delivery
The only one I'm aware of that does the run is the Malacca Highway, approx 3 days for a return trip Emden/Sheerness/Emden

That was the one that changed pattern today and is now heading for Immingham.
The unexpected Emden to Sheerness vessel was the Danube Highway which is now headed for somewhere else.

If that happened I would expect a good discount on the model.gonk1959 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 12:31 pmThere will probably be a new model out by the time I and a lot of others take delivery of their vehiclesSteve_2019 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 10:33 am I did read else where VW had a lot issues with the New WLTP emissions and the South Africa plant with strikes last year but even so over 12 months waiting for a normal road car is a p*** take. Just hope it’s worth the wait.
Hopefully they speed up the production lines up to get the order books down a bit.

Many didn't realise that after ordering a car they'd become an expert in maritime traffic. [emoji6]
